Best Pony Poems

Our friends invited us to their farm,
And were introduced to Tony 
Their pony, who had delectable charm,
On his forehead was a star,
Which I noticed from afar,
He had already spotted spotted me,
From way beyond the cedar tree.
He stole my heart, 
Right from the start,
He seemed incredibly...

Have you ever seen bullfrog green jump across a Lilly pad?
Did you ever see gold moth bathing in a moonshine bath?
Do you watch as teal raindrops bless and baptize the stream?
Will you hear the wood windmill song it sings each spring?

I walk real close to...

   On the back of her pony
     the universe lay
   comets and starbursts above
     periwinkles below spreading love
 
   O, princely pinto
     you're all I need

The tribe she grew up in had troubles, they had tenacity too,
thunder in the pulse of nurturing, lightning in traditional strengths,
some called her a young arrow, sharp & carved well
with feathers found in the ancient forest,
others were jealous like rocks to rubies, squaw they said...

Dry up those eyes my little red rooster,
remember to strut your stuff.
See that silver pony in the clouds
well God put him there for us.
That pony is not like the ones down here,
he was made individually, for us too.

So smile, when they say hateful things,
then say,...

You told my (SISTER IN LAW) (WHAT!!). If you think for one moment I am remotely 
interested in that so called (LITTLE MONSTER) you call your (HORSE FROM MARS) (YOU WILL 
SEE) you won’t (GET FAR). Ever since your (DIVORCE) you’ve been hinting at having...

HORSE FROM MARS

It came from the sky, a gray silver stallion
I looked up high behind the stallion was a dragon

With so many things in this universe
I'm on standby 24/7 with a camera in my purse 

Who would have known I'd be the first to spot...

Imagine the joy! A word from the east
Delivered by pony express,
I ride into town on this nag of a beast
Fetching mail for my humble address.

Imagine the miles! Stretched far 'cross the plain
One rider, horse, saddle and bag,
Crouched o'er the withers, nose close to the mane
Spurred...

Miss Garner, Miss Garner. I HATE your Gymkhana,
I loathe every second it's run.
I dread all those horses and obstacle courses,
and everyone else having fun.

Now Mummy is frantic, the panic gigantic;
my pony won't go in the box.
She's shouting and screaming (and often blaspheming),
when Dobbin sits down...

Okay back to the funnies I promise to go
A wee bit of frivolity, a few giggles or so
We all need laughter
And joy to the rafters
To help us get through this dog and pony show

Bees are buzzing in their hives
A pony tail swish, deters the flies
Long grass waves, majestic in the wind
And over the pond the dragonflies skim
This halcyon place you love to be
Brings peace and joy eternally....

Will you take a ride with me on an unsaddled pony,
past the dusky copper kettle glow of Gilead pond?
 
Two young, carefree kids wandering barefoot..   
far as we can see the fields stacked in hay, our highway 

The Summer sun we'll chase away...

I see you,
do you see me?
I hear you,
do you hear me?

I try very hard
to understand,
the confusing touch
of your human hand!

I don’t want to resist,
but sometimes that’s how I feel,
your energy, your presence,
it’s not always the best deal.

There are other days;
it all feels so very pleasant,
in...

As I run my hand,
across your soft face,
I ask please don’t ever
think me a disgrace.

I do make mistakes 
but I try to learn each day,
too become my best for you
in each and every way.

Your thoughts and your feelings
are all I think about,
who you are, what...
